800mhz memory clock? 

The Optimus II GT17-960 XS comes with 12GB of Kingston 1600MHz RAM, alongside a speedy 120GB Kingston V300 SSD and a huge 1TB (1,000GB) storage drive, offering plenty of space for your games, photos & movies.

a huge 1TB (1,000GB) storage drive,

1 TB = 1024 GB

[[MAF]Snoopy]

actually you get 931 GB and never your 1000 GB

Yo im planning to buy new PC very soon.
So i spent few days reading staff about new hardware and
hire are my picks:
Jalicno please help.

X99S SLI PLUS
i7-5820K
GTX 980
32GB DDR4 - Don`t know what type yet.
Samsung SM951 128 GB Internal SSD - M.2 2280
PSU - ?
CASE - ? (maybe box)
Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - ?

I know next is a little blurred

rip cable management

[[MAF]Snoopy]

It's not that bad. I've seen worse. Ask Jalicno about my old cable management lol... fires!

Hey, not Jallicno, but I know stuff as well

• RAM - 32GB is absolutely not needed for gaming, so unless you do video rendering or something similar, 16GB will be more than enough. I'd even say 8GB is enough for 99% of the cases as well, but I recently ran into an situation where it wasn't, so I'm upgrading that myself as well at the moment. As X99 is quad channel, in case of 16GB of ram you should get 4 sticks of 4GB, not 2 of 8GB.
• SSD - Get a bigger one - seriously, for such a high end build installing programs and games (which are huge nowadays) in HDD will hurt performance WAY more than anything else. I'd say go for 512 GB, even if it means using a slower SSD and losing 2 cores and some RAM. I have 256GB myself, and really wish I had more.
• GPU - I don't know for how much you are getting your 980, but they are usually not worth it. 980 is only about 20% faster than 970 and costs way more. R9 390X is very similar to 980 in performance and costs considerably less as well. Higher end GPUs affect gaming performance more than the two additional cores, so, depending on your budget, 980 Ti and cheaper CPU and motherboard could also make more sense. Personally, I recently upgraded to 980 Ti, but I got a great deal. It overclocks way past Titan X performance, but that still isn't enough to max out GTA V at 1080p 60fps .
• PSU - don't cheap out on it if you don't want to burn your $$$ components.
  Pick accordingly to this list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

• Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - that's a very personal thing, I got a cougar 700K with brown switches (IMO the best kind), and I love it, but it depends on your requirements. Try to check out different switches at retail stores.

Well i still prefer 2x8GB instead of 4x4 even if motherboard support quad channel. Think about upgrade in year or two if you want add more ram for example 16 GB more, you can't add any if all slots are used. Also think about who would pay you good price if you sell 4x4GB ram, most of motherboards nowdays are limited with 2 slots...
Even if you sell 8GB you have 8 more left so you need advertise twice your ram and be lucky to sell both kits, dropping ram in dusty box looks silly for me. And one thing just crossed my mind, often see mothearboards with faulty 4th slot mostly cause of overheating even in warranty period...

[[MAF]Karlis]

X99S SLI PLUS has 8 dimm slots, so that's not an issue. And 4GB sticks are dirt cheap (for example, http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC4-17000-Unbuffered-288-Pin-CT4G4DFS8213/dp/B00MMLUYPQ), you don't need a set, just same model is preferred.

[Terrorfist]

A 4GB stick in here costs less then $20. 8GB only costs like $25-$30

[[MAF]Karlis]

Yeah, it does, and so, even getting 32GB wouldn't be very expensive, it's just literally useless for gaming purposes. Pretty much the only things where a non-business user could use more than 16 GB of memory are compilers, video renderers, ram disks and science related computing/simulations, neither of which will probably be needed.
